LONDON JOURNALS. `[F OM TOE MOBNIN( 4 "IPERS or THIS DAY.] [Morn in;; Post .] lIEVOLT OF A MILITARY SCHOOL IN FRANCE. Letter from La Reche, Dec. s.—On Sunday hat .the pupils of the Ist or 2d battalions of the Royal Military School of that 'town broke out in revolt, Ott eight o'cl)ck in the morning. Their intention was, it is said, to unite s airogether at midnight, to seize their arms, and then to proc'eed to the 'Champ de Mars, to form a squire ba , talion, in °the midst of which they intended to dispose of the youngest amongst them. A detachin• nt was then to proceed to seize upon the Dire. or of their •Studies : the General anti Colonel were not to he pared, as well as several other persons. On re• etiving intriligence of this revolt, which took 'place before the hour appointed for the execution of the -plot ; the Stati and the Director of the Stu flies repaired to the Court Of the Ist battalion by the !mills, to bring them to order---their Ap• pearance bad only the rtleet of irritating the mu tineers, and as they were forcing them to ascend to their dormitories, the Director s e iz e d one of the collar, and thrust him into 0 black-hole. lie had been the bearer of the keys of the arms'- rooms, and the arrest of this person de! , rayed the prolect. On the tollw‘itig day, on descending to the study, the pupils recommenced their revolt tore their books, broke their desist, &'. Not to comproinse the Professors, it 'was thought pm dent to suspend the elasscs, and since that time they have remained closed. On Monday evening thirteen pupils welt: sent away, on Inesday five, and on ‘l's.dricsday• six. Order is not yet per fectly restored, and even a new insurrection is apprehended. The second in command departed vn Tuesday morning for Paris, for the purpose of making a report to the Ministry. [The Times.) PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. PARIS, DEC. 10 Laine appears to refuse to accept of the Ministry . of Justice for that of rhe iutetior, although the former is reputed the first atter that of President of the Conucil, and the beat adapted to an eloquent juris-coosult. Such a change will not take place till he consents to it ; but if he would comply, the change would, among o+ her advan!ages, oiler that of allowing the suppression of the department of police, which can exist no longer alter the expiTy of the laws of exception. M. le Comfit de Caws sod Baron Pasquier would in this case have obtained other ministerial places which we are assured they were (VTOsed to accept. .M. Roy has ex pr,ssed a resolution not to preserve the office of Under Seetetary for the Finances. He is in defatigable in business; he expects to be able to accomplish all the duties of his ministry by taking the assistance of some Committees, from whom be can obtain infolmation, without being opposed ill his plans. It is not at all probable, it is said, that iii. d e B a r e nt e would think of the Under :Secretaryship tor the Finances. The place of Director-General of the Indirect Taxes, to which be joins a sort of personal independence, is be sides of importance. The institution of Under Se cretaryships, which we have borrowed from you in some department of our Administration, has ”ot with us hitherto been successful. This has been perhaps owing to the mistake in the first choice, among men either too weak or too nnas hued with the busim-ss of the bureaux, of 'Which they ought to be the directors, though for no other object than to relieve the Ministers from the necessity of attending to minute details, during the Session of the Chambers. It would appear from this, that they ought not to be De puties themselves, that they might not be carried beyond their sphere by extraneous avocations, and might remain strangers to the intrigues of party. [New Times.] By our Private Correspondence from Paris, to so late a date as FridAy evening, it will be seen t h a t t h e F ren ch Funds ou that day fell so low as 62. The causes assigned for this extraordinary depression do not seem, to reflect much credit on either the integrity or the ability of M. Roy, the new Finance Minister. He has thrown into the market, all at once, two millions of rentes, which his predecessor, Al Corvetto, had taken up, ex pressly for the purpose of lightening the market. His motives tor this step are supposed to be two- NI, partly to cast discredit, on his predecessor, and partly to enable the Sinking Fund to act with the greater celerity in buying up the teaks at a low rate. To buy cheap has always been a favourite rnt►xim with NI. Roy in his private affairs. for he is, as we have hitherrofore observed, one of. the !host notorious Acquereurs in the king dom. It wili remain to be seen whether such a principle will operate as advantageously for the public in France. A letter from Manchester, of the llth instant, says—" Among ihe many thousand work-people employed in the various trades carried on in this extensive town, the fustian• cutters (male and fe male) form a numerous body. The different ma nufacturers have, it appears, been under the ne cessity of lowering the wages of those employed in this branch for some time past, which has caused great dissatisfaction atnong them. They have held several meetings, by idelegates, (luring the last and present week, to take into considera tion what is best to be done to improve their situ tion, itnd a turn out is said to be resolved on, should the masters not agree to reinstate' thent their former prices. I trust however, that they will not carry their rash resolve into execution; for in the pres e nt low and. flat state of the markets, it is impoSsble for their employers to come up to their wishes or cxiwetatioos ; and the fate of the varion.. turn-outs that have pre ce‘ted thiln, ought to point out the folly anti clanger of such a measure, as well as its total inefliciei - icy to do them any benefit, either pre sent or remote."—(lbid.)

We received yesterday and this morning the Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday last. They contain the Speech of the KING on opening the Session of the Chamber, which we gave on Sa. torday. The Journal de Paris of Thlarsday contradicts the statement of IVednesday's Papers, of M. LA Furro having had an audience of the KING. These Journals announce the death of the Grand Duke of BADEN, which took place on the Bth instant. An attiele from Madrid has a report, that M. ZEA, the Spanish Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of Petersburg!), is io be the Minister for Foreign Affairs, •in the room of the Marquis de CASH IBUJo, who already wishes to retire. From Vienna it is stated, that the Emperor of AU!TRIA has al pointed the Duke of WELLINGTON a Field-ithoshal of h's Army, and nominated his Glace to the command of a Regiment of I►tfantry. An article from Lisbon mentions its being the fixed determination of the King of PORTUGAL to remain in the Brazil d►►ring the remainder of his reign. The Emperor anti Empress of AUSTRIA left Munich oti the Ist instant for Vienna. The Emperor of lius , qA set out 110171 Stuttgart) on the 2tl instant for IVeitmtr.

SMITH THOMPSON, Chief PROVINCIAL JOMNALS. The sound principle, and elocim nt manner With , which The Leeds Intelligencer has been conducted, first induced us to conceive that Extracts from the Country Journals would he gratifying to our Readers in general 'throughout the British &rt . - pire, and tent to the diffusion of true constitu tional doctrines, not only by circulating the opi nions published in particular - districts, hitt in ducing the respective Editors of those Country Journals to support with zeal any measures in tended to promote the national interest, and zea lous!y to oppose all mischievous and delusive te nets, from the .consciousuess that, throntth the medium of 'Vita SUN . , their sentiments would he communicated to the People at large thoughout the United Kingdom. We understood, that by the death of the late re spectable Proprietor of The Leeds Intelligencer, that Paper has devolved into other hands. We must rherefore consider it as a new concern, as the late Editor is no longer connected with it, But we learn with much pleasure, that from the increased importance of the town, and the extent of its population, it requites a third Paper, and that the late Editor of 'The Leeds Intelligerteer has insti tuted a ne w Journal, which is promised a libel al support,. The town of Leeds, therefore, will not lose the talents•whieh have been so long ,-mploved in its service, and a notorious dcmocratical Pa. per of the same place. will still 'he resolutely op pose 4 by an able writer and a loyal subject. FOR THF., THE BIBLE. EDITnR,—AS you have opened your en lumns to inquiries concerning Mr. BELLAss nrocosed 'l't - Ansi:olon of the Bible, it appears to me that the qiiestion naturally divides itself 'into two Noss : the first is, whether a real necessity d o es exist for is New Translation ; and the se cond is, whether, if there does, Mr. Bellamy is eorensetent to that important task ? Of the first, 1 will say but little, because, though 1 do not think the necessity apparent, I am persuaded that . the supposed errors of our present Version have been, for various reasons, repiesented as much more frequent, and of mire!) greater consequence, than they really are ; vet there are good and learned men of a different opinion. However, the ins. stances which Mr. B. has pointed out, and pretend ed to ameod, do by no means prove that neces sityi ; and where they have not, by bold addi tions and alterations, departed from the sense of the original, are less plain than' our present Ver sion. The psssage urged so triumphantly . by, 1 think, Stackhouse, concerning the reply to Hazael, 2 Kings, 8. 10. is quite clear,, and needs not the arneodirg not which Mr. B. is pleased to insert, contrary to the Septososiot, the Vulgate, Ire- Hollins, and Juniers, Diodati, Robert Stephens, Cavallo, all of them Translators 'from the ori ginal Hebrew, contrary also . to . the Hebrew Cri s tics, as expressly stated by Grotitet, and contrary also to Josephus. The sense is evident .that Benhadad might recover of his sickness, but that be should die by the hands of Hazael. And the Prophet does not say that he shall recover, but orders him to deliver that message to his Master, probably in order to lull him into a false security. For Hazael was fippoiuted by God to execute his purposes, (1. xix. 15. and 17.) and Was one of many instances of his being pleased to make use . of wicker) instiuments to promote his will. But supposing the necessity fur a New Versi o n to exist, I will venture to affirm, not only that Mr. Bellamy is not competent for that purpose, but that no one person is, how ever learned he' may be. We leave seen the greatest scholars, such as Newsome, Horsley, Durell, Lowth, and others, attempting a por tion only of the Sacred Books we have seen the Translators of the present Version, 47 in number, the most learned men then in the kio4dom, and particularly selected for their know ledge of , the Oriental Languages, dividing the Bible among, them into separate portions, and afterwards carefully examining each portion as translated, and comparing it with the original, and employing in this labour nearly three years ; and can we suppose that one person, is able to do itA, this properly • even if we allow this, there is as yet no reason to suppose that Mr. B. is that person. Even setting aside the masterly and able criticism in The Quarterly Review , 1 can see no intrinsic marks either of learning or ofjudg went in what he has written ; but on the con trary much presumption, plod) bold and unprov ed assertion. He has ventured for instance to assert, that our present authorized Version is translated from the Vulgate. Let him prove this to be the fact, or give up all pretensions to lite rery knowledge, judgment, and candour. .\ No Biblical Student can have often compared our translation with the Vulgate, withont perceiving that one could not be taken from the other. Dr. Kennicott, Diss. Gen Sec. 10S, mentions about 20 places in which our Translators had added words, not to be found in the Hebrew Text, in order to make the sense complete. If Mr. B. is right, these additions must have been taken from the Vulgate, and are to be found there. Bat the contrary is the fact ; fur in no less than 15 of those places, there are no such additions in the Vulgate. Let Mr. B. therefore first prove this fact, which he ailed es as sliming the necessity 06 a new Translation ; and then strew his own competency to he the Translator. I am, sir, &c. BIBLIOPHILUS.
